WHY IS EVERYONE DEAD.

[heartfeltletters-written]

thinking about how interesting the black family could be as a whole but fannon has twisted their personalities so deeply that they’re unrecognizable and refuses to write them as the morally grey/dark characters that they are !!

sirius perpetuating the views of his family in his first year as a gryffindor and having james always correct him. sirius suffering through his teenage years because he wants to please his family so badly so he learns to lie and manipulate but at the same time feels conflicted and wants to be a good person bc … the potters

regulus being a assumed death eater who honestly hated his brother bc he was the perfect heir but now he has to do sirius’ work. give me regulus enjoying hurting people because it pleased his family and he was hungry for acceptance to then later find out voldemort secret and completely freak out and how that affected his morals

bellatrix being the crazy one where all the expectations were on her and craving ambition so when the opportunity arose she took it without hesitance becoming voldemort most trusted follower. but also give me bellatrix being so annoyed and angry at andromeda and sirius for leaving all of them because family should come before everything and do they not see the sacrifices she made for all of them, being the eldest ??

narcissa and her perfect life and how she alone uphold the black family moto while everyone else was either in jail/dead or burned from the family tree so she took it up to herself to carry her family’s name and honor. give me narcissa agreeing with voldemort’s ideals of blood purity but not agreeing with the violence and the killing. give me narcissa seeing andromeda across the room and not being able to reach but wanting too because that’s her big sister but knowing she can’t because she betrayed them all for an inferior being and narcissa kind of hates her but she really doesn’t

give me andromeda missing her sisters so much and wondering how they were doing. give me internal conflict and guilt for leaving her family behind but also no regret because she loved ted and her daughter so much. give me her visiting bella in azkaban because she wanted to see her because she’s still her sister even if she hates her.

give me blacks and their family DRAMA !! give me complicated emotions forged upon years of abuse and sibling competition. missing each other and doing nothing about it so much so that it’s bellatrix who kills sirius which makes it even more heartbreaking. give me their mistaking painful longing with hate.

this is in no way original but neuvillette and folcalors are so (lana del rey) summertime sadness coded guys please i really can't

"goodbye, neuvillette, i hope you've enjoyed the part you've played for these 500 years"

"surely you know that as i am now, i could never again declare them guilty"

"I think ill miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun, in the morning sky"

nothing just sobbing over them and their undying love for fontaine

Ok like, I know Toei probably doesn't know more than the average manga reader does about where the story is going/future chapters and plotlines but. Man. I've been rolling this around in my head all day.

You really put this between Bonney and Kuma and did not expect me to think about it so much. With the strong connection the two characters have, why place a seraphim in between besides cool visuals??? Why not slightly after and use anything else as a transition? Why would you choose S-Shark??? Why do we see this motion of him falling into the water eyes closed, and then once in the water eyes wide awake??? Is he going to have some sort of mental awakening from their "kind of a kid, kind of obedient robot" to "full kid?" This further leads me on the spiral of "Hey remember when S-shark lost his arm" and "Does it hurt? Are their pain sensors numbed? King could endure a lot but they're only half him-" Anyway that little thought tangent aside, I hope that people can see my thought process in this: With recent events, I've heard some people saying the seraphim are probably going to show up to fight Kuma and the straw hats. What if Kuma freed them from having to obey orders? It would be incredibly fitting in my opinion for him to protect children inherently, both Bonney, and the children the government is using- one of which is a clone of HIMSELF. That's gotta bring back some memories for the guy, even if his mind is gone, I think it would trigger something. Even though they're Vegapunks, the seraphim are loyal to the government by force, by programming. And I don't think he could bring himself to fight kids. (UNLIKE SANJI- Dude you ripped off his arm- I mean with your understanding of what's going on I guess I get it but damn) Solution? Freedom. Again, I know it's probably just "pretty visuals" But my analytical brain says just as Bonney reaches out of the water, as she sorts out her baggage, The awakening minds of the seraphim plunge them DEEP into baggage, both that they gained as minions for the government, and the ones seemingly imprinted on their lineage factor, as we see with S-Snakes trait of "Being in love with Luffy"

close ups under cut

[dafry]

[four-bastard-bustle]

You know I've always wondered how your interpretation of Matt would've reacted to being punched in the face by Tord in the end part one. Like, he seems the kind of guy who would either go whimper and hide behind Edd like a puppy or would punch back.

Ok so like see this is where you unleashed the floodgates because ive thought abt this scene for ages because its such a peak example of ew(legacy) failing the serious/emotional moments. Making this piece of violence work in a sea of violence is no small undertaking, but I think what it really comes down to is the difference in context between the guys slapping each other around for shits n giggles with no real malice, and the outright fury expressed by Tord in that scene in the episode. If that had been emphasised more, it couldve been peak I think.

This is kind of a lot so its going under the cut

But like, my version of Matt specifically. I mentioned in a couple posts that he was abused pretty heavily as a kid and was occasionally even hit by his father. So having someone suddenly express clear fury over him for doing whatever he was doing and punch him brings back a massive flood of terrible memories. Usually, when one of the other guys hits him, Matt starts whining and complaining. He’s the type to talk and yell a lot when he gets mad. But the sudden fear he feels makes him completely clam up. This is further compounded by the fact that Tord (and by extension Red Leader) goes nonverbal when furious.

Matt lies there on the cold floor. In his mind he sees all the times his father has held him down and “lectured” him for “inappropriate behaviour”. Sometimes he’d even hold his son down by the neck and start squeezing. Strong hands grab his collar and he can feel the air being choked out of him. Matt is surprised that he’s being liften up instead of pushed down for once.

His mind reeling, he can’t tell if the face staring at him in a blind fury is his father’s or “Tord”’s. They’re blending together. They look so terrifyingly similar.

The monster raises its fist but something stops it. A hand clad in green is holding the monster back. There’s talking. Matt wishes he could hear any words. Everything is just ringing for him.

Edd for his part is very much overwhelmed with this situation. As much as he cares for his friends, he is TERRIBLE with conflict resolution. So far, he’s been lucky enough to never need it, but also so far any scraps the boys have gotten into were just petty arguments. This is very different.

Edd starts by just telling “Tord” to let Matt go, at which his grip tightens. He really doesn’t want to add to this by getting physical too, so he just repeats the command, but a little more gently. The fist Edd is holding back shakes a little, but finally “Tord” lets Matt go.

The sound of heavy breathing is filling the room, and no one is able to look one another in the eyes. But after a bit, Red Leader finally collects himself enough to express one clear command.

“Get out of my room.”

Matt doesn’t need to be told twice, and though he’s on shaky legs, he hurries out. Edd gives Tord one more glance before leaving as well. But not without first telling Tord that the two of them are going to talk about this later, when he’s calmed down.

After that, he brings an ice pack to Matt’s attic. The cold helps with the swelling and with Matt’s ongoing panic attack.

But really, Edd is feeling just about every negative emotion right now. He hates how he froze up in shock for a second when Matt got punched instead of immediately helping him up. He wonders why the hell “Tord” felt this protective over a stupid ass button. He hates seeing one of his friends lose himself in a fury this way. He hates seeing another one of his friends have a full on panic attack. He hates that this is kind of the best he can do right now. And he wonders, just what the hell is going on with “Tord” and his secret room.

I want the scene to be so deeply painfully awkward. I want there to be no way Red could laugh it off, or change the topic. I want the three of them to stew in negative emotions like its an awful soup.

Also, the ice cream line. Part of me gets so pissed off by it because Matt literally said he hated ice cream in H&F. But also, as a scene where like, Matt gets too scared to mention that so he just meekly agrees. That’s really good. And I think(?) that’s what the scene was actually intended to be? But they should’ve expressed this better, maybe have a bit in the store where Matt mumbles to himself “But I hate ice cream” as he puts it in the shopping cart. That would definitely be a part of it all in my version of it.

And most importantly no “who’s my brave little soldier” because fuck that line. Infantalize my man like that again and I’ll smite thee.

Uh I mentioned doing my own hc au version of th* *nd and not making it as melodramatic, so I don’t think this would happen in my version of the entire episode. But this is just my version of the Scene. Very different things

[pencilofawesomeness]

They kept Leona’s hands mostly free so that they could throw Riddle at him. Still, he had to jerk on the manacle connecting him to a stake in the corner of that miserable tent just so that he could catch the kid and not let him hit the dirt first.

“Riddle? Riddle, do you hear me?”

He knew it was going to be bad. He didn’t trust them enough for it not to be. That didn’t mean he was prepared to see him with those half-lidded blank eyes, nearly dead to the world, blood coating his skin like the phlegm of a newborn, large red welts arced all across his back. Leona held him there, almost forgetting to breathe himself, his blood quickly covering his hands, but there was nothing he could do that would help in a way that mattered. He just…used a little healing magic. There was only so much he could do, without a stone and with too much blot accumulation already, but he didn’t care. He didn’t care about the eyes of the guard staring at him, either.

Rosebud’s fic has given me extreme brainrot so I turned around and drew this after the scene made permanent residence in my brain. It’s so good guys. I’m not okay /pos

Bad times for the boys in the Kidnapped Corner, for sure. Riddle’s scene broke my heart, and Leona trying his best to care for him swept all the pieces into a little pile. These two. These two. ;-;

[spaghettibabie]

Working on my The Path fic rn I’m so excited to publish the first chapter (I’m indecisive and can’t even figure out a sentence to start the whole thing off)

[hashtagcaneven]

Eriks dreams of the strangest things. He watches centuries past in a blink. The world growing bright and green and colorful in moments that should have taken decades. He knows the exact amount of effort needed to aim a weapon that howls like sin itself. And what it feels like to pull a trigger meant to harm. He fears who he might have been. Yet he isn't afraid of the two strangers who appear at the inn he works at who recognize him.

[hypertic]

fic idea…

basically, watch Beatrice break each one of the 10 commandments and how Ava is at the center of most of them but I’m torn between making it semi-cannon / warrior nun universe or just make it a catholic school au. the problem with the latter is that idk how she could kill someone and get away with it 🤕

[ottogatto]

no but why is this me in real life

[weirdmixofweirdness]

Ryan seriously went from “I can’t believe I’m already used to talking to this blue creature,” to joyfully hugging said blue creature in the span of 5 seasons. Now, that is character development!
